Therapy with me
Therapy with me is a space where your story can be heard and where the depth of what you’ve been carrying can be met with care and support.
I aim to create a space for adults of all ages, where you can bring whatever feels heavy, confusing or unfinished – a space where your story can be shared and heard with humility. In addition, we can explore old patterns and parts of you to find a stronger sense of belonging.
My approach is centred around my respect for each person’s unique experiences and the courage it takes to bring and share them.
About me
I trained for 4 years as a Humanistic Psychotherapist at Homa London where I developed the skills to accompany people in exploring their emotions, relationships and inner worlds. These experiences have increased my deep respect for the diversity of people’s stories and the resilience it takes to live them.
Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked in social work, supporting adults, children, families and young people. I also volunteered with the Youth Offending Team in Barnet. These experiences deepened my appreciation for people’s humanity and the challenges they face.
I am a wife and I am a mother of 3 young adults.
The challenges you may be facing
You may be feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You may be experiencing difficulties with relationships, self-esteem, low mood/depressed, or a sense of not quite belonging in the world. Often, old messages, beliefs, or roles that were once necessary for survival now feel limiting or painful. For some, this shows up as people-pleasing — a constant need to meet others’ expectations, even at the cost of your own needs. You may feel unseen or unheard, wondering how you can have a voice, grow confidence, and live more authentically in today’s world.
How I can help
I offer a space to explore these challenges together and to really hear what isn’t being said – these are the moments in therapy where something shifts.
Therapy with me is centred around what feels real and true for you. I support you in discovering who you are beneath the expectations, patterns, and pressures you’ve carried. By cultivating self-acceptance and compassion, we can work toward building a more harmonious relationship with yourself, which naturally allows for more wholesome and fulfilling connections with others. The work we do is both a privilege and a partnership.
My approach
My approach is authentic, real, and compassionate. I aim to meet you in the moment, as you are, and connect with you in the here and now. I see therapy as two people working together with honesty, kindness, and empathy. For me, this work is deeply personal — I know how important it is to feel seen, to have a voice, and to build relationships that are real and wholehearted. This passion drives my commitment to creating a space where you too can feel valued and supported in becoming your truest version of yourself.
Gestalt - Theory and practice
Gestalt therapy is a creative and experiential approach that invites you to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and behaviours in the here and now.Rather than digging endlessly into the past, we focus on what is happening in the present moment because this is where change is most alive. For example, if you are talking about a situation that made you angry, we might notice how that anger is showing up in your body as we speak. Are your shoulders tense? Are you clenching your jaw? We might explore that directly, giving voice to those feelings in the safety of the therapy space.Gestalt encourages you to reclaim lost or split-off parts of yourself, the parts that have been silenced, denied, or pushed away. It is about integration, wholeness, and coming into fuller contact with your life as it is, not as you think it "should" be. There is something deeply empowering about discovering that you can stay with yourself, with your feelings, your sensations, your story, even when it is hard. That is a skill that grows stronger with practice, and it can ripple out into every area of your lifeThere’s no agenda to “fix” you. Instead, we work together to uncover what’s been getting in the way of living more fully and authentically. Often, simply being met with genuine presence and acceptance can open up new pathways that were previously out of reach.
Person - Centreds
Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, rests on the idea that healing happens in a relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted without judgment.This does not mean we never challenge or explore difficult patterns. But it does mean that our work together is grounded in empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard. When you are met with that kind of presence, it becomes possible to meet yourself with greater kindness too. And from that place, real change begins.Many people tell me that in the therapy room, for the first time, they feel free to say what they really think and feel without having to edit or perform. That is not a small thing. It is fundamental.
Transactional Analysis
Transactional analysis (TA) helps us understand the different "voices" or ego states within us - Parent, Adult, and Child - and how they influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.For example, you might have a critical inner voice that tells you that you are not good enough (a Parent voice), while another part of you feels scared or small (a Child voice). TA helps bring awareness to these inner dynamics and gives us tools to respond from a grounded, Adult place, one that is calm, clear, and capable of making conscious choices.TA also offers valuable insight into our relational patterns, how we communicate, how we get stuck, and how we can shift those patterns into healthier, more authentic connections. By noticing and naming these dynamics, we can begin to untangle the old scripts we’ve been living by – the ones that might no longer serve us – and write new ones that reflect who we are today.
Transformative and on going work on Social Justice
The courage to be yourself
Humanistic therapy is ultimately about the relationship to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. It is about becoming more fully human: messy, tender, strong, imperfect, real.
The core of humanistic therapy: You are the expert on you
Humanistic therapy sees people as whole beings, not just a set of symptoms, thoughts, or behaviours. It focuses on your subjective experience: how you see the world, how you relate to others, and how you relate to yourself.
Rather than diagnosing or labelling, humanistic therapy aims to create a safe, empathic space where you can explore who you are, what you need, and how you want to live. It is a collaborative process. You bring your story, your feelings, and your truth. The therapist brings deep listening, compassion, curiosity, and a toolkit of therapeutic approaches to support your exploration.
